How so? Say a first timer comes to a show with 2 10" entry level subs in a prefab box, all set up to be in street A, which he will get beat by at least 10 db by the regular people which go to most events. The only problem is his box is slightly over the window line, and in SM1-2 he would be beat by 15 db by people who have walls with 2 18" woofers in them. I think many judges would still let him compete in street A if no mini street is offered. This is a single point event I am talking about.

Now, At a 2X this competitor would be in SM1-2 because the rules are much more stricter as it is quite a bit more serious, and more competitors would complain.

At an event like world finals which is 4x and AudioAnonymous will be going to, The rules are extremely strict because all competitors scores are very close in each class. A competitor that loses to AudioAnonymous by .1 db would probably complain that his battery is illegally mounted and he would not be allowed to compete without changing it.

Helloo!!!!
So WH needs to do this...
1X Rules aply 50%
2X Rules aply 70%
3X Rules aply 90%
4X Rules aply 100%
lol....

Bro Rules are rules... We are in DB Drag the sport were the Top of the Top play.....

Rules are made to be followed.... Not broken... hehe I have learned the hard way, but I have learned.....

So if you are judging a 1X event you will go through a first timers vehicle and inspect it as much as the judges at finals were inspecting yours after you set a world record?

read the rules, when a world record is set the judges are allowed to tear into your install to check and make sure your not cheating using extra equipent or something other then audio equipment.
The rest of the time it is general stuff like interior, sub placement, voltage, battery locations, roof build downs etc.
